14 chrony is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer
15 clocks. chronyd is a background daemon program that can be started at
16 boot time.

18 Assuming that you have found some servers, you need to set up a config‐
19 uration file to run chrony. The (compiled-in) default location for
20 this file is /etc/chrony.conf. Assuming that your ntp servers are
21 called `a.b.c' and `d.e.f', your chrony.conf file could contain as a
22 minimum
23
24 server a.b.c
25 server d.e.f
26 server g.h.i
27
28 However, you will probably want to include some of the other directives
29 described in detail in the documentation supplied with the distribution
30 (chrony.txt and chrony.texi). The following directives will be particu‐
31 larly useful : `driftfile', `commandkey', `keyfile'. The smallest use‐
32 ful configuration file would look something like
33
34 server a.b.c
35 server d.e.f
36 server g.h.i
37 keyfile /etc/chrony.keys
38 commandkey 1
39 driftfile /etc/chrony.drift
